A national manufacturer and installer of retail mall and storefront signs asked our TRADITION LIEN SERVICE division to record a WEST VIRGINIA Notice Of Mechanics Lien on a strip mall located in Logan, WV within Logan County. According to Wikipedia, it is named for Chief Logan, famous Native American chief of the Mingo tribe.
